Just a cable between you and the switch? The speed is typically controlled by the hardware itself, and if the speed is not gbit then in my experience it has always been some sort of physical issue (bad cable, not quite plugged in, damaged, or poor punchdown on the jacks). What kind of cable are you using (ie a standard straight through cat XX?).
